Giving (and getting!) the perfect Christmas gifts just got easier. Now you can put together a wish list of your favorite Logos resources and share it with your friends and family. They’ll know just what to get you—and if you would receive a discount on any of those resources, they will, too!

To get started, simply log in to your Logos.com account. (If you don’t have one, creating one’s a cinch.) Once you’re logged in, you’ll find “Add to wish list” links on live product pages and search results. Click them to build your wish list.

Then start browsing Logos.com and populating your wish list with those must-have items!

Reviewing your wish list is as simple as going to your account’s dropdown menu and clicking the “Wish Lists” tab.

Once you’re ready to share your list with friends and family, go to your wish list and click the share link.

That will bring up a box with a link you can paste anywhere, or you can choose to click and share to Facebook, Twitter, Faithlife, and other networks.

Purchasing from someone’s wish list

Your friend or loved one’s link will direct you to a page full of their most wanted items. When you see an item you’d like to give, simply hit the “Add to cart” link. Want to purchase more than one item? Check all the corresponding boxes (directly to the left of the products) before hitting “Add to cart” up top.

At the shopping cart, you can see the item(s) you’ve chosen. You can go back and add to the cart, or remove any items that don’t belong. To the left of the shopping cart, you can also add gift certificates.

Once you’re happy with the items in your cart, hit “Proceed.” If you’re sending a shippable item and you don’t know the recipient’s address, you can always have the item shipped to you. We’ll send shippable items within 48 hours.

Most items are downloadable, though. Once a download gift is unlocked to your loved one’s account, they’ll receive a confirmation email within 48 hours.

Either way, after entering whatever shipping information you need, you’ll be prompted to enter your preferred form of payment, and voilà—you’ve just purchased the perfect gift!

This week’s your last chance to save on new Pre-Pubs from Eerdmans Publishing. Come December 2, all Eerdmans Pre-Pub prices are going up! Like all Pre-Pubs, these titles won’t go up to full price until they ship—but the super-low introductory prices are going away for good.

You’ll get the greatest savings with the 309-volume Eerdmans Bible Reference Bundle. Add this gigantic collection to your library before December 2 and you’ll get over $500 off the regular Pre-Pub price. (Compared to the final price, that’s a full $1,000 off!)

Don’t miss individual Eerdmans collections

If you’re not in the market for an expansive collection like the Eerdmans Bible Reference Bundle, you can pick up these books as smaller collections or titles. And yes—these standalone resources are available for introductory Pre-Pub pricing until December 2, too!

Last Thursday, we announced an amazing partnership with Eerdmans—and, with it, the new Eerdmans Bible Reference Bundle, an enormous 309-volume library. You can still pre-order all this awesome content at Pre-Pub prices, and you can even spread out the payments with an interest-free payment plan.

There’s a lot of material in the Eerdmans Bible Reference Bundle. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be highlighting some of that brilliant content.

If you’re looking for thoughtful, scholarly insight into the Scriptures, look no further than the 13-volume Eerdmans Commentary Collection. Written by the some of the most respected scholars in biblical studies, this collection will enlighten and inspire you for years to come.

“I commend Rob Wall for offering us, and the wider church, his canonical readings of the Pastoral Epistles. Rob does not shy away from the many tough passages in these letters, always trying to present what he sees as the ‘plain sense’ of the text in relation to other historical, ecclesial, and cultural understandings. The combination of commentary and reading by the ‘rule of faith’—supplemented by three interesting case studies—provides a thorough canonical understanding of these crucial letters from the standpoint of one who is immersed in what it means to understand the Bible as the church’s book.”
—Stanley E. Porter, president, dean of theology, and professor of New Testament, McMaster Divinity College

“This is the kind of commentary that I most want—a theological wrestling with Scripture. Frederick Dale Bruner grapples with the text not only as a technical exegete (although he also does that very well) but as a church theologian, caring passionately about what these words tell us about God and ourselves. Here he places his considerable teaching gifts at the service of the Christian community, caring as much about us as he cares about the text. His Matthew commentary is in the grand traditions of Augustine, Calvin, and Luther—expansive and leisurely, loving the text, the people in it, and the Christians who read it.”
—Eugene H. Peterson, emeritus professor of spiritual theology, Regent College

“No one knows the prophecy of Micah more thoroughly than Bruce Waltke. No one is more deeply ingrained in the secondary literature that discusses and debates this prophet. No one is better positioned to be a helpful guide to the correct interpretation and application of this marvelous book. It’s rare when a commentary is helpful to scholars, clergy, and laypeople alike, but Waltke has accomplished this masterfully.”
—Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College

A Commentary on Jeremiah: Exile and Homecomingby Walter Bruggemann

From one of our premier Old Testament scholars, this practical resource not only reveals the depths of Jeremiah’s story, but also reminds us of our call to be faithful and obedient, full of justice, and compassionate.

Full of rich history and deep theological insight, Bruner’s two-volume work on Matthew’s Gospel brings the past to bear on the present. Theologians, academics, scholars, and laypeople will all benefit from hearing how early Christians read Matthew, and how we can benefit from it today.

Poet and Peasant and Through Peasant Eyesby Ken Bailey

A contemporary classic, the combined Poet and Peasant and Through Peasant Eyes provides an intensive study of Luke’s parables. Bailey focuses on how these parables would have been received by a first-century Middle Eastern peasant culture.

The Intolerance of Tolerance by D. A. Carson

How has the meaning of “tolerance” changed in recent years? In this thoughtful book, Carson discusses how tolerance has changed from defending the rights of those who hold different beliefs to the affirmation that all beliefs hold the same weight and value.

The Dead Sea Scrolls and the Bible by James C. VanderKam

How can Dead Sea Scrolls scholarship augment your Bible study? VanderKam discusses the latest Dead Sea Scroll developments, focusing on relevant information from the scrolls and laying out their significance for biblical studies. This rich compendium from a distinguished scholar is essential reading for all who work at understanding biblical texts and their ancient context.

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the hostilities of WWI came to an end. Although the war didn’t officially end for another 7 months, countries around the globe commemorate the armistice on Remembrance Day.

This special day is acknowledged throughout Great Britain, Canada, India, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. It’s also observed by other countries who fought alongside the British Empire during WWI, like Kenya, Bermuda, Barbados, and Mauritius.

On November 11, 1919, President Wilson called for the United States to recognize the first Armistice day:

“To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations.”

In the summer of 1926, the United States Congress passed a resolution officially recognizing Armistice Day with the following resolution:

Whereas the 11th of November 1918, marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed, and

Whereas it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations; and

Whereas the legislatures of twenty-seven of our States have already declared November 11 to be a legal holiday: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), that the President of the United States is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on November 11 and inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples.

In 1954, after suffering through WWII (the largest deployment America had ever seen) and the Korean War, veterans’ organizations appealed to the 86th Congress to modify Armistice Day to honor the American veterans of all wars. Congress responded by changing Armistice Day to Veterans Day.

Whether or not you live in a country that observes Remembrance Day or Veterans Day, take a few moments today to thank someone who has served your country and remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

Over the next few months, Logos will increase its focus on serving the thousands of Canadian users who already know the software’s benefits firsthand, as well as the thousands of future users who will soon experience them.

A lifelong Canadian resident (currently living in Nova Scotia), I was hired to bring a fresh perspective to the Canadian market. Canada’s been a strong supporter of Logos from the beginning, and I’m looking forward to serving as the ambassador between Logos and my home country. After all, behind the US, no other nation has more Logos users than Canada.

I received my Master of Divinity and my Master of Arts (theology) from Acadia Divinity College in Nova Scotia, and I’m a PhD candidate in New Testament at the University of Bristol in England. I’m a massive fan of Canadian hockey, and I’m even more passionate about helping people discover the tools they need to understand the Bible.

How can I serve you?

In the months and years ahead, this new role will bring many challenges and joys. I need your help! If you’re Canadian and you have a desire to help others understand Scripture, I’d love to hear your ideas about how we can help multitudes of Canadians get more out of their Bible study with Logos. Head over to the forums and introduce yourself. I’ll respond as quickly as I can!

Helping people grow deeper in their knowledge of the Bible is one of the greatest privileges I can think of, andI’m excited to help Canada connect with Logos.

What if every seminary student had cutting-edge academic tools—word studies, lexicons, exegetical guides, reverse interlinears, and other original-language resources? What if they could study from an immense library of networked texts, full of classics, commentaries, and contemporary titles? And what if they could create bibliographies with ease?

For students at Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS), this isn’t a fantasy—it’s a reality!

Underwritten by generous donors and a small portion of students’ technology fees, DTS will be equipping more than 2,000 students with Logos 5 to aid their theological studies. This means that every student, no matter their income or educational program, will have access to the very best tools and resources for their biblical studies.

Logos 5: an invaluable tool

The best part of the DTS program is that, when students’ formal education is over, they’ll be able to take Logos 5 into their future ministry!

Discover the Baptist tradition’s rich history with biographical sketches of Charles Spurgeon, John Bunyan, and other Baptist luminaries, along with detailed illustrations of the London Metropolitan Tabernacle (where Spurgeon preached to tens of thousands) and the Bedford jail (where Bunyan wrote his classic Pilgrim’s Progress).

About to cross over at $27, these seventeenth-century books revitalized the National Covenant in Scotland. They argue against Roman Catholicism, seeking to establish the Presbyterian Church as Scotland’s sole religion.

“Dr. Hewison’s two lordly volumes on that period, The Covenanters, give only the traditional view expressed with extraordinary vigour and rigour.”
—Andrew Lang

“The value of this book lies in the fact that it shows the men of the covenants and their deeds in such a way that the student of history may calmly judge them, and be assured at the same time that in making his judgment he has before him the available relevant facts.”
—The Glasgow Herald

The value of networked resources

The books in your library are intelligently tagged to create a dynamic network of resources, available when you need them.

With Logos 5, that’s exactly what you get: a vast library, intricately networked with powerful datasets and features so you can find what you’re looking for. The larger your library, the more resources you have to draw on—and the more robust your study.

What’s in Platinum?
